Driving me nuts. I can see other people on the network, mount volumes, cruz the net. But I can't get any games that require TCP/IP to work. None of them will see local LAN games, and no one else can see my games.

I've tried over the base station and connecting directly through AirPort by creating a network. Neither works.

They all work fine over ethernet, though.

I've already reinstalled the system software twice and reinstalled the games countless times. Doesn't seem to make any difference. Any other suggestions? Could my card be broken somehow? Just doesn't make any sense.

(I'm on a 1.5GHz 15" PowerBook.)

It's working now... I have no friggin' clue why. Hope this problem NEVER appears again. Ugh.
